South Korea, 1970. San is a lonely child, ostracised from her community. She soon finds a friend in a girl called Namae, until one afternoon changes everything. Following a moment of intimacy in a minari field, Namae violently rejects San, setting her on a troubling path.We next meet San, aged twenty-two, when she happens upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul's bustling city centre. Over the course of one hazy, volatile summer, San is introduced to a curious cast of characters - the mute shop owner, a brash co-worker, kind farmers and aggressive customers - and fuelled by a quiet desperation to jump-start her life, she plunges headfirst into obsession with a passing magazine photographer. Throughout it all, San's moment with Namae continues to linger in the back of her mind.A story of thwarted desire, misogyny and erasure, Violets reveals the high stakes involved in one woman's desperate search for both autonomy and attachment in an unforgiving society.

우리 어머니들의 삶과 사랑을 절절하고 아름답게 그려낸 신경숙의 소설『엄마를 부탁해』. 2007년 겨울부터 2008년 여름까지 '창작과비평'에 연재되어 뜨거운 호응을 받았던 작품으로, 작가가 <리진> 이후에 펴내는 여덟 번째 장편소설이다. 연재 후 4장으로 구성된 원고를 정교하게 수정하고, 100여 장에 달하는 에필로그를 덧붙였다. 소설의 이야기는 시골에서 올라온 엄마가 서울의 지하철 역에서 실종되면서 시작된다. 가족들이 사라진 엄마의 흔적을 추적하며 기억을 복원해나가는 과정은 추리소설 같은 팽팽한 긴장감을 유지하면서 전개된다. 늘 곁에서 무한한 사랑을 줄 것 같은 존재였던 엄마는 실종됨으로써 가족들에게 새롭게 다가오고 더욱 소중한 존재가 된다. 각 장은 엄마를 찾아 헤매는 자식들과 남편, 그리고 엄마의 시선으로 펼쳐진다. 딸, 아들, 남편으로 관점이 바뀌면서 이야기가 펼쳐질 때마다 가족들을 위해 평생을 헌신해온 엄마의 모습이 생생하게 되살아난다. 각자가 간직한, 그러나 서로가 잘 모르거나 무심코 무시했던 엄마의 인생과 가족들의 내면을 섬세하게 그려내고 있다.
